This school is about 1.5 miles as the Med Evac flies from DIL's and Grands school and actually closer than that to their house.

6 Injured in Oakland School Shooting, Police Say
Two of the victims were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries, the authorities said. The shooting occurred at a campus in the Bay Area that houses multiple schools.
By Kellen Browning and Eduardo Medina
Sept. 28, 2022 Updated 9:36 p.m. ET
OAKLAND, Calif. — Six people were shot on Wednesday at a campus in Oakland that houses four different school programs, prompting lockdowns and evacuations as the police descended on the scene, the authorities said.
Two of the victims were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries on Wednesday afternoon; the other four were either released or soon to be released from hospitals, said Darren Allison, the assistant chief of the Oakland Police Department. All of the victims were adults who had “some affiliation with the school,” Chief Allison said, though he did not specify their ages or if they were students or workers.
The authorities were searching for one shooter on Wednesday, Chief Allison said, but he noted that there may be “other individuals involved” in the shooting, which began at about 12:45 p.m. He added that the Police Department was still investigating whether the shooting was targeted or random.

But this took place just hours after the Governor's photo-opdrilling and training with the Highway Patrol. HOW CAN THIS BE?!?

A crushing blow.
https://tucson.com/news/local/universit ... 72907.htmlUniversity of Arizona professor killed on campus was water expert
The University of Arizona professor shot and killed by a former student Wednesday on campus was Thomas Meixner, the head of the school's hydrology department and an expert on desert water issues, officials say.
Meixner was shot about 2 p.m. in the hallway of the John W. Harshbarger Building, near East Second Street and North Mountain Avenue, police say. The building houses the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences.
The university issued a statement Wednesday night about the shooting, identifying Meixner as the victim and adding links to mental health services for students and staff. It said classes on campus would resume today.

Uvalde schools fire ex-Texas trooper who was at shooting
PAUL J. WEBER and JAKE BLEIBERG
Thu, October 6, 2022 at 6:48 PM·
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — New outrage ripped through Uvalde on Thursday over revelations that a school police officer hired after the Robb Elementary massacre was not only on campus during the May attack as a Texas state trooper but under investigation over her actions while a gunman killed 19 students and two teachers.
The hiring of Officer Crimson Elizondo was first reported by CNN on Wednesday night. Less than 24 hours later, the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District fired Elizondo on Thursday in the face of swift and mounting backlash from families of the fourth-grade victims and Texas lawmakers.
But the abrupt firing did little to diffuse anger in Uvalde. Families demanded answers over why the school district's small police force in the first place hired one of the nearly 400 law enforcement officers who rushed to the scene of the May 24 attack but waited more than an hour to confront a gunman with a AR-15-style rifle.
Adding to some parents' disbelief was the fact that Elizondo, according to records released by the Texas Department of Public Safety, is among at least seven troopers who were at the scene and put under internal investigation over their actions during one of the deadliest classroom shootings in U.S. history.
“They knowingly hired her,” tweeted Brett Cross, whose 10-year-old son Uziyah Garcia was killed in the attack.
